UCSX Firmware Recommended Version

[NeoChen722593]

Hi All,

Is there a recommended version of UCSX Blade Firmware on Intersight?

Because intersight in the cloud does not display the recommended version,

my  Intersight PAV(1.0.9-561), UCSX 210Cm6(5.0(2e)), FI: 6454(4.2(3C))

Thanks.

I don't recall if the PVA has a recommended version flag like SaaS/CVA, here is the recommended firmware versions as of today that show up for SaaS/CVA if that helps:

 There might be reasons to consider a different version though (new hardware/resolved defects etc) which you can consult the release notes to review: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/servers-unified-computing/intersight/products-release-notes-list.html

Hi @Brian Morrissey 

Thank you for your reply,

May I ask if you can provide me with the command given in your picture and how to use powershell to show that?

Thank you.

Hi @NeoChen722593 ,

After installing the powershell SDK and establishing a connection to a SaaS/CVA account with apikeys (https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/intersight-powershell) you can run something like this:

Get-IntersightFirmwareDistributable -Filter "RecommendedBuild eq 'Y' and Contains(ImageType,'Intersight Managed Mode')" | Select Results -Expand Results | Select VarVersion,ImageType,SupportedModels,Name | Sort ImageType,SupportedModels

Last time I checked a few months back the PVA didn't have a 'RecommendedBuild' parameter in the API due to the nature of the PVA being offline which is why I targeted a SaaS/CVA account.  I provided some feedback as well to product management to see if they can investigate doing something similar for the PVA (through release notes or the appliance binaries download page etc) to make it easier in the future.

It's best to consult the official documentation or contact Cisco support
for the most up-to-date information on recommended UCSX Blade Firmware
versions. While Intersight may not display the recommended version, Cisco's
official resources will provide accurate guidance for your specific
hardware and software configuration.
